N the following pages we illustrate and price a few styles of our goods which are either omitted 
from or incompletely shown in our regular catalogues. Discounts will be given on application. 

Wire Chairs, Settees, Etc. 

We call special attention to these. They are superior goods. Made of the best quality of 
heavy steel wire, they are strong and durable. Great care has been used to obtain graceful 
shapes and correct proportions. They are ample in size, cool and comfortable. 

All the chairs and settees have neat malleable-iron feet, as shown in cuts, to prevent injury to floors or 
lawns. They are painted with best oil paint and finished in "gold" bronze unless otherwise ordered. 

You may have seen wire chairs and settees, but unless you have seen and used ours you can have only 
incomplete ideas of this class of goods as improved by us. 

We invite inspection of these goods in our salesrooms, and solicit sample orders and correspondence regard- 
ing prices, etc.
